Description
The Robin Hood and Little John stones are two field boundary stones located on the west side of Hawsker Lane. Likely dating from the 19th century, they replace earlier stones and are made of roughly tooled gritstone. Each stone is approximately 0.6 metres high and features cylindrical columns topped with circular flat caps. The rims of the caps are inscribed with the names "ROBIN HOOD CLOSE" and "LITTLE JOHN CLOSE." These field names are believed to originate from a legendary archery contest between Robin Hood and Little John. There is also a suggestion that the name Robin Hood may be a variation of the hobgoblin, Robin Goodfellow. The stones are included for their historical interest.
